Post processing

This module demonstrates how to set-up and post process a measurement and inspection
cycle that has been created using the Productivity+ GibbsCAM plug-in.
Note: The GibbsCAM post processor has to be modified to enable probing operations; this
operation has to be carried out by an authorised GibbsCAM re-seller, or by GibbsCAM
themselves.
The GibbsCAM post processor (.pst) has to have the same name as the Renishaw probing
post processor (.RenMF). These two files must then reside in the same folder location.
For example:
GibbsCam.pst
GibbsCam.RenMF
Having completed this module you will be able to:
Post process a program
View the program as a text file

Screenshots may vary from those shown depending on the installed version of the Productivity+ GibbsCAM plug-in.

When posting a GibbsCAM program which contains probe cycles, a dialog box will appear to indicate
any warnings or errors that have been detected during the post processing operation.

Posted program with warnings

Below is the dialog resulting from a program which generated a warning when posted.
Information provided includes an overview of the problem and where it exists within the Productivity+
program. This is provided as a warning code with a hotlink to the relevant section in the on-line help,
where information on how to resolve the issue can be found.
Warnings will not prevent a program being posted, but are there to advise that it may be necessary to
edit your program.

Posted program with errors

When posting a program which contains errors, a error dialog box will appear.

Click OK.
Below is the dialog resulting from a program which generated an error when posted.

An error message means that there is something wrong with your program or a setting in your Post
Processor file.
As with displayed warnings, information in the dialog will provide an overview of the problem and
where it exists within the Productivity+ program. Again a hotlink jumps to the relevant area of the online help, with advice on how to correct the error.
